INSTALLATION
of Rev. DIR. G. b. Stafford at Elkhart, In
diana.


Rev. George B. Stafford, d. D, formerly
for more than 20 years the esteemed and
respected pastor of the College street
church in this city, was installed as pas
tor of the Congregational church in Elk
hart Ind, on the 10Th inst. The council
comprised the pastors of the Baptist
Lutheran, Methodist and Presbyterian
churches of Elkhart, and the pastors and
delegates from the Congregational church
es in indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Michigan
City and st. Joseph. Mich. The report of
the occasion in the Elkhart ReuieW says
CDR. Safford's expression of belief was rs
clear, concise, comprehensive, critical,
compact positive and able a statement of
the fundamental evangelical truths OF the
was ever put into words. His creed, in
our opinion, is evangelical and orthodox,
without being capuiOus or dogmatic lib
eral, but not elastic; generous, but
not without definite boundary; wise
mingling of Christian charity and estab-
the candidate was subjected to a
cross-examination calculated to show
any weak spot in his faith, and
he proved to the satisfaction of the coun
Gil that his orthodoxy was grounded in
the rock Of faith in the eternal truths Of
session and after due deliberatlon eX
pressed the unanimous opinion that his
examination was satisfactory in all re-
spects.
In the evening the services of installa-
ton took place. The sermon was preach
ed by Rev. j. V. Hlckmott of ST. Joseph.
The installing prayer was by Rev. j. G.
Lowrie of the PRESBYTERIAN church OF Elk
hart Rev. DR.. Hyde of the Mayflower
church OF Indianapolis, extended the right
hand of fellowship; Rev. j. G. Cromer of
Fort Wayne, delivered the charge of the
pastor. Rev. L. 5. Keyser of the Lutheran
church of Elkhart, then delivered prac
tical thoughtful and earnest charge to
the people. The presence in the council Of
pastors and delegates from other denOmi-
nations augurs a kindly spirit between the
religious workers of Elkhart, irrespective
of church lines. The participation of these
sister churches in the council was a sign
that warns the heart of every Christian
in Elkhart. If no other good result this
renewal of fraternity will be of itself a
blessing to the city.
The Congregational church has received
a pastor whose work in the past has been
fruitful of good to all with whom he
came in contact, and whose work here
will undoubtedly build up multitudes in
that practical faith which works newness
of life and exaltation of purpose.

j. ID. Pickering was arrested Monday
morning on the charge of placing poisoned
meat in the Elmwood avenue cemetery for
the purpose of killing dogs with the result
OF killing six or seven dogs owned in that
vicinity. He was arraigned in the City
Court when he pleaded not guilty 1t was
shown that a short time since he purchas-
ed large amount of strychnine at Vim
cents drug store; that no other
strychnine had been sold at any
OF the drug stores in this city; that
he had purchased dog meat" on two diff
ferent occasions from Towards meat
market that he had charge of the Gene
terry, and thus had some motive for getting
rid of the dogs that frequent that place ;
that one of the dogs went out of the GENE
terry but short time before it died, and
that post norton examination showed
it to have been poisoned with strychnine.
The defence was that strychnia was
purchased for the purpose of killing rats
but the prosecution showed that he had
purchased large quantity of arsenic but
short time previous for the same pur-
pose. After a full hearing occupying the
entire day, the judge found him guilty
and sentenced him TO pay fine OF SIS aud
costs amounting in all to $35. The case

Senator MOrrill's Wisdom.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
Senator Morrill, does not believe that the
country will 60 to the dogs in the latter
part OF this year unless Congress is called in
special session The neglect of the last
Congress to take measures to lower the
revenue he is convinced was unfortunate
but he knows that the secretary of the
treasury has abundant power to eXpend
the surplus in the purchase of bonds, and
thereby avoid any dangerous contraction
in the currency. OF course Mr.. Morrill's
views OH this question are in accord with
those of every sensible person in the
country who knows anything about the
finance question. Unfortunately, however,
the views of men like Morrill, do not
get before the people so often as do those
of simpletons like Senator Beck, and fl
nance IS a question which the majority of
the people or the country are not thor
oughly posted upon,
